Ingredients
Instructions
- Thaw the bread dough and break it into pieces.
- Place the dough pieces in a greased 9x13 inch pan.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter, then stir in the brown sugar, vanilla pudding, milk, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Pour this mixture over the dough in the pan.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight with foil.
- Bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes or until the bread is done.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, allow the bread dough to thaw completely in the refrigerator overnight. If you're short on time, you can use homemade bread dough instead of frozen. Consider adding nuts or raisins to the dough pieces for added flavor and texture. If you prefer a richer taste, substitute half of the butter with cream cheese.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these caramel rolls warm, drizzled with a bit of extra caramel sauce or a dusting of powdered sugar. They pair wonderfully with a hot cup of coffee or tea for breakfast or brunch. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside a fresh fruit salad or yogurt, making it a delightful addition to any gathering.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover caramel rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual rolls in the microwave for about 15 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat them in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes to restore their fresh-baked texture.
